Motion Optimistion Of Plunging Airfoil Using Swarm Algorithm
(2010-06-03)Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are battery operated, remote controlled miniature flying vehicles. MAVs are required in military missions, traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, sensing, spying, scientific, rescue, ... -
Multi-agent Consensus Using Generalized Cyclic Pursuit Strategies
(2009-05-11)One of the main focus of research on multi-agent systems is that of coordination in a group of agents to solve problems that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Each agent in the multi-agent system has limited ... -
Multi-Agent Coordination using Convex Formations and Binary Tree Structures
Multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed in missions involving large-scale tasks with complex objectives that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Such missions demand computationally efficient coordination ... -
Multi-Agent Positional Consensus Under Various Information Paradigms
(2017-02-22)This thesis addresses the problem of positional consensus of multi-agent systems. A positional consensus is achieved when the agents converge to a point. Some applications of this class of problem is in mid-air refueling ... -
Multi-Agent Pursuit-Evasion and Coverage Strategies
Autonomous agents are increasingly being used to solve many tasks deemed complex by humans with ease and effectiveness. Two such related applications are in defence scenarios and in coverage. Inspired by these applications, ... -
Multi-Agent Search Using Voronoi Partition
(2010-08-05)This thesis addresses a multi-agent search problem where several agents, equipped with sensors and communication devices, search an unknown area. Lack of information about the search space is modeled as an uncertainty ... -
Multiscale modelling and design of multifunctional composites for microwave absorption applications
Microwave absorption materials (MAMs) are crucial for both long-standing aeronautical and emerging space security applications, with carbon-based materials traditionally dominating the field due to their exceptional strength ... -

Negotiator Initiated Connectivity Restoration in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are groups of sensors, connected by communication links, spread over the area of interest, to perform a specific task. The network may get partitioned into clusters due to unanticipated ... -
A Neural Network Approach To Rotorcraft Parameter Estimation
(2009-07-03)The present work focuses on the system identification method of aerodynamic parameter estimation which is used to calculate the stability and control derivatives required for aircraft flight mechanics. A new rotorcraft ... -
NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR ANALYZING THE BREAKUP, ENVIRONMENT, EVOLUTION, COLLISION RISK AND REENTRY OF SPACE DEBRIS OBJECTS
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-03-10)In the space surrounding the earth there are two major regions where orbital debris causes concern. They are the Low Earth Orbits (LEO) up to about 2000 km, and Geosynchronous Orbits (GEO) at an altitude of around 36000 ... -
Non-linear Vibration of Beam Immersed in Fluid
In space launch vehicles with liquid propulsion system, various sub-systems like gas bottles, anti-slosh baffles and fluid lines are placed inside the propellant tanks which become partially filled over time during flight. ... -
Nonequilibrium wake flows
In order to study the memory of the larger eddies in turbulent shear flow, experiments have been conducted on plane turbulent wakes subjected to external pressure gradients. In some of these experiments the pressure gradient ... -
Nonlinear mode theory of shear flow development
The major part of this thesis is concerned with the description of a new technique for analysing the development of shear layers (particularly in free flows). A principal feature of this method is the expansion of the ... -
